Katherine began her career in test kitchens working for brands like Coastal Living, Southern Living, Real Simple and Food & Wine. She eventually transitioned into managing premium brand marketing initiatives, partnering with well-known hospitality leaders such as The MICHELIN Guide, Condé Nast, The James Beard Foundation, American Express, Hedley & Bennett and Le Creuset. As her reputation grew as a project manager and event planner, Katherine expanded her professional services to include travel arrangements. With her experience in luxury hospitality and personal passion for all things travel, Katherine founded Conviva Travel Club.
After spending the last five years in the Bay Area, she now lives in Los Angeles with her husband and pup Penny. She’s happiest spending a weekend away in Big Sur or road tripping through Santa Barbara (bonus points for a stop in the Santa Ynez Valley)!
